So my browser crashed in the middle of a massive response thus reminding me why I loathe MS and wish for their failure, but anyway...
I've seen video of Crysis and it just doesn't look as good as screen shots or tech demos of the game. It clearly loses something in the transition from pictures and fully processed demonstrations to actual gameplay. It's not much better looking than Killzone 2, and other than their pure laziness (aka reliance on DirectX instead of programming their own video drivers and such) I can't see what even keeps Crysis from being on the PS3.
Yeah, screen shots are gorgeous, but to play that game as goos as Crytek is saying it can look (and I dunno if I even believe it considering the gameplay videos I've seen) you need a video card that costs as much as the PS3 itself. God forbid you take into account what the ram and cpu upgrades to match it will cost you.
With the graphics having little advantage over the "competition" and Crysis actually being more expensive to get running at its peak, why in the hell would people care? Even if I cared about FPS (and I don't, so I wish Sony would move developers onto a genre that counts), is it really worth a video card that costs as much as a PS3 alone to play a game that looks only slightly better?
You do not have the right to never be offended.
